Wow. Was this *really* all the way back in March??? He was such a perfect angel for our newborn workshop demonstration and let me tell you, his poor dad (who was suffering through some kind of cold) was quite the trooper. These tender moments of mom and dad cuddled up with a brand new baby are what keep me going. You just don't get these memories back and when you're in the middle of trying to figure out your new role as a parent (a sleep-deprived parent at that), you can quickly forget what it was like when they were *this* brand new.

Looking forward to demonstrating this kind of newborn photography for the 2012 workshop attendees (we have some openings left), but with a little twist...this time, we're going into homes for the newborn part. I'm excited. I love exploring my client's environments!

This is my mom(my). AKA Mee Maw. AKA the Pinkle Toes Office Manager.
She is an incredible woman.
She may not believe it, but I think she's led an incredible life so far, overcoming many challenges that would probably have crushed me.

She is happy.
The happiest I've *ever* seen her.
I thank my lucky stars that she has finally found someone to be happy with her.

I think she should write a book.
I really do.
She has an intriguing story to tell.

Shortly before they became a family of four, there were just the three of them. I'm so glad we got to spend a little time documenting their lives together at that moment.

I'm usually pretty decisive when it comes between color and black and white...an image just *is* one or the other. But in this case, I just can't decide. Both have such different moods. Both are so very *her*. Decisions, decisions...

A lot. In spite of the 100+ degree heat that day, we managed to have a blast. Dad-to-be said, "I'll do anything you ask me to...I'll even stand on my head." Okay. You got it! Anxious to meet their baby girl next month...equally excited to see the "antique beach themed nursery."
